Niu Daliang then recounted: "I didn't dare to follow up, found a hiding place, and hid. After waiting for a while, Yang Gouyu came out of the dense forest and walked back.

"When I walked past my hiding place, I noticed that he was no longer bulging. Then I realized that there should be a place for him to hide his stolen goods in this dense forest.

"I'm still far behind. This time he went home, and then he never came out. For three days in a row, he was like this almost every day. I don't steal much, I steal at most one house a day. After succeeding, send them to the mountains, then go home, and then don't go out. ”

"Have you ever been in the dense forest that Yanggou left into?" Qin Yi asked Niu Daliang.

On the third day, thinking that he must be home, and that he would not come out again, I did not follow him any more, but went into the jungle to find out where he had hidden his stolen goods. I want to find the place where he hid his dirt, and there is no evidence? However, the dense forest is very deep, and I went in and searched for a long time, but I found nothing?

"I was not reconciled, and went inside again, and as a result, I almost got lost inside. There is no choice but to return in vain. Niu Daliang shook his head.

"How long has Yang Dog left him in the dense forest?" Qin Yi asked.

"It's only an hour at most," Niu Daliang thought for a moment and replied.

"Then he hasn't been in for a long time, listening to what you said, that dense forest is not small, Yang Gou Yu shouldn't have walked out of the dense forest, and it seems that things are hidden somewhere in the dense forest?" Qin Yi thought.

"I think so too, but, I've been looking in the jungle for a long time, and I can't see where to hide something?" replied Niu Daliang.

"Yes, in the dense forest, what is the best place to hide things? Hiding things in the mountains, it is better to hide in a cave?" Qin Yi was muttering to himself.

"Mr. Qin, will you follow him tomorrow?" asked Niu Daliang.

Qin Yi thought for a while, "The matter is already clear, and there is no point in following it again, now it can be determined that Yang Gou is a thief." ”

"What should we do next?" asked Niu Daliang.

"To catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, the next step should be to find a way to catch him while he is committing the crime. Qin Yi replied.

"Isn't that easy?" Niu Daliang didn't even think about.

"What's the easy way?" Qin Yi asked with interest.

"The two of us follow him to see whose house he enters, and rush in and catch him?" Niu Daliang said.

Qin Yi thought for a moment, "Didn't you say that? He pretended not to know that there was no one at that family? What did he pretend to do at that house? We know what he was doing inside, even if he stole something, let's rush in and put down the stolen things, we can't find anything wrong with him? Besides, that's not our home, what's the matter if we rush in? Yang Gouyu might bite us both back, saying that the two of us broke into someone's house to steal things; we are all outsiders?"

Niu Daliang thought for a while, "Why don't we two go into the house, and when he steals something and comes out, we will catch him again and turn out the stolen goods on his body, won't we get dirty?"

"That's a good idea. Qin Yi nodded yes.

"Then I'll come to you early tomorrow, and we'll follow him together. Niu Daliang was very excited.

"Well, that's it. Qin Yi agreed.

It seems that the matter here has been completed, and Niu Daliang and Qin Yi have taken their leave.

Qin Yi originally wanted to invite Niu Daliang to drink a drink and treat him. But thinking that the bottle of wine and side dishes he left had been stolen, he really couldn't take anything to entertain others, so he had to send Niu Daliang out of the door with some apologies.

Not long after Niu Daliang left, the patriarch came to Qin Yi's house, he came to inquire about how the arrest of the thief was going?

He said: "The people in the village are in fear all day long, and if this thief is not found out, the village will not be at peace!"

The patriarch also said: He has discussed with a few elders, and in the future, this village will easily not be able to take in outsiders? The village is such a large territory, and life has been better in the past few years, and there are more children, and it cannot accommodate many people. Of course, the most important thing is that this outsider, everyone has it, and it is difficult to manage it after coming here?

When the patriarch reacted, it was Qin Yi who listened to him, and he immediately felt that what he said was a little inappropriate? Because, Qin Yi was also an outsider.

"If these outsiders are like Mr. Qin, then the more the merrier. It's okay to be like Tian Xiaoyan's grandparents and grandchildren, but ?......"

The patriarch didn't know what to say next, and shook his head helplessly.

Qin Yi didn't mind the patriarch's words. He heard it, and the patriarch and the elders had already decided that the thief must be an outsider. Qin Yi reassured the patriarch that the matter of catching thieves was already in sight. Because there is not enough evidence, there is no mention of Yang Dog's remaining Qin Yi.

Qin Yi didn't say anything specifically, and the patriarch didn't ask in detail. He just asked Qin Yi to hurry up as much as possible, and Qin Yi agreed.

The next day, Niu Daliang came to Qin Yi very early. The two of them first wandered around Yang Gouyu's house, waiting for Yang Gouyu to go out, so that they could follow behind. As a result, until it was time for lunch, Yang Gou Yu didn't leave the house.

There was no way, so the two of them had to go back to their respective homes for lunch.

When they were separated, Qin Yi asked Niu Daliang: "Is this Yang dog going out to steal things in the afternoon?"

"It's been morning for the past few days. Niu Daliang replied.

"After stealing something, I have to send it to the mountains, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come out in the afternoon. Qin Yi said.

Niu Daliang nodded in agreement.

After eating at noon, Qin Yi took a nap.

In the afternoon, he wanted to go to the county seat, but he hadn't seen Uncle Tian and Xiaoyan for several days, and he was very worried about them.

However, before he could go out, Niu Daliang came to him panting, saying that Yang Gouyu had entered the family's house to steal.

Qin Yi hurriedly followed Niu Daliang and rushed over.

When they arrived near the family's house, the two of them stared at the family from a short distance outside the family's yard.

The effort was not great, and Yang Gou Yu really came out of it. As Niu Daliang said, there is nothing on his hands, but the clothes on his body are bulging.

Niu Daliang was about to rush up, but was stopped by Qin Yi.

Seeing Yang Gouyu walking forward, Niu Daliang asked Qin Yi in a low voice why didn't he step forward to grab the stolen goods?

Qin Yi didn't answer Niu Daliang's question, but just whispered: "Keep up." ”

Yang Gouyu walked towards the mountain again, and on the mountain road where no one could be seen, Qin Yi and Niu Daliang followed far behind.

"Mr. Qin, why didn't you catch the form just now?" Niu Daliang asked again.

Seeing that Yang Gou was quite far away and couldn't hear the voices of the two people, Qin Yi whispered: "We are not that family, we don't know what is on him? Is he stealing that family's family? Besides, why should we search people's bodies? If people don't let us search, can we help him? If we don't do it well, we may mess things up." In this way, it will definitely be difficult to catch him. ”

"So what are we going to do now?" Niu Daliang asked.

"When he's done putting things away, the two of us will look for a place where he's hiding. As long as he finds the den where he put his dirt, he has nowhere to run. ”

This is Qin Yi's plan to change temporarily.

"It's really hard to find. Niu Daliang said embarrassedly.

"Two people with four eyes is better than two eyes for one person, let's try to find it. Qin Yi encouraged Niu Daliang.

Niu Daliang didn't say anything more, just nodded.

The two of them followed for a while, and Yang Gouyu really walked into a dense forest.

Niu Daliang was right, in less than an hour, Yang Gou Yu walked out of the dense forest and returned. Qin Yi and Niu Daliang hid, watching Yang Gou Yu walk away, Qin Yi and Niu Daliang walked into the dense forest from the place where Yang Gou Yu had just entered.

The forest is very dense, because the trees are dense and the trees grow very tall. When you walk into the forest, you can only see the sky above you, and you can't see the east, west, north and south. Qin Yi, who grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, used a knife to carve marks on the trees after entering the forest.

The ground is thick with leaves, and it is easy to see the footprints of people. At first, I could still find a little trace of the dog walking in and out, looking for it, looking for it and disappearing.

The two men could only broaden their search, trying to find a suitable place to hide something.

Qin Yi and Niu Daliang didn't dare to separate, wherever they went, the mark would be engraved. The search area is not large, but it takes a lot of time.

It was already dark, and the two of them had not yet discovered anything. It was not easy to find the mark left by himself as soon as it was dark, so the two of them discussed it and had to retreat.

On the way back, Niu Daliang asked what to do next? Qin Yi said that he hadn't thought about it yet.

"Mr. Qin, are you still following him?" asked Niu Daliang.

"There's no need to follow him, and if you startle him, it's even harder to catch. Qin Yi thought for a moment and said.

"If he goes to someone's house to steal, the people of that house and we will catch it as soon as possible. Niu Daliang seemed to be saying to Qin Yi and to himself.

"Brother Niu, what were you talking about just now?"

Qin Yi was thinking hard about finding a way, but he didn't hear Niu Daliang's words too clearly.

Niu Daliang repeated his words again, and then said: "This is definitely impossible, who knows whose house he is going to steal?

"Good way! That's it!" Qin Yi happily patted Niu Daliang on the shoulder.

"What's the best way, what should I do?" Niu Daliang was puzzled.

Qin Yi then told Niu Daliang about his plan, and Niu Daliang praised him repeatedly.

Early the next morning, Qin Yi rode to the county seat. He went to Uncle Tian and Xiaoyan first.

Seeing Qin Yi, both of them were full of sadness. For a while, the medicinal materials could not be collected at all, and the warehouse had no business to do.

Ever since the villagers got out of the mountains and had a relationship with the outside world, they have become more and more aware of the benefits of money. With money, you can buy anything, and you can't move an inch without money. As the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero.
